Terms of Service
Effective date: June 23, 2026
These Terms of Service (the Terms) govern all access to and use of the website located at marshwaterdamagelongbeach.com and any service request submitted through it. By visiting marshwaterdamagelongbeach.com, submitting a service request, calling a number listed on the site, or otherwise using any feature of the site, a visitor agrees to be bound by these Terms in full. If a visitor does not agree, the visitor should leave the site immediately and not submit any request.
Important Notice - Arbitration Agreement and Class-Action Waiver: These Terms contain a binding arbitration provision and a class-action waiver. Both are set out in full in Section 2 below. They affect the visitor’s legal rights in the event of a dispute and should be read carefully before using the site.
Marsh Water Damage Long Beach may update these Terms at any time. The date shown as Last Updated: June 23, 2026 reflects when the current version took effect. Continued use of marshwaterdamagelongbeach.com after a revision constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.
2. Dispute Resolution, Binding Arbitration, and Class-Action Waiver
Informal Resolution First. Before initiating any formal legal proceeding, a user agrees to contact Marsh Water Damage Long Beach through https://marshwaterdamagelongbeach.com/contact-us/ and describe the dispute in reasonable detail. Marsh Water Damage Long Beach will have thirty (30) days from receipt of that notice to attempt to resolve the issue informally. Both parties agree to engage in good faith during that period. A formal proceeding may not be commenced until that 30-day window has expired without a satisfactory resolution.
Binding Individual Arbitration. If informal resolution fails, any and all disputes, claims, or controversies arising out of or relating to these Terms, the marshwaterdamagelongbeach.com website, or any referral made through it - whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation, or any other theory - will be resolved exclusively through binding individual arbitration rather than in a court of law. Arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules, as amended from time to time, except where those rules conflict with these Terms, in which case these Terms control. Information about the AAA and its rules is available at www.adr.org. By agreeing to these Terms, both the user and Marsh Water Damage Long Beach waive the right to have any such dispute heard by a judge or jury in a court proceeding, except as expressly stated below.
Class-Action and Representative-Action Waiver. All arbitration and any permitted court proceedings must be conducted on an individual basis only. The user and Marsh Water Damage Long Beach each waive the right to bring or participate in any class action, collective action, consolidated action, or representative action, whether in arbitration or in court. The arbitrator is expressly prohibited from consolidating claims of different users, presiding over any form of class or representative proceeding, or awarding relief to any person other than the individual claimant. If this class action waiver is found unenforceable with respect to any particular claim or set of claims, those claims must be severed from arbitration and litigated in court, but the waiver remains in effect for all other claims.
Jury Trial Waiver. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, both the user and Marsh Water Damage Long Beach waive any right to a trial by jury for any claim or dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the use of marshwaterdamagelongbeach.com.
Small Claims Carve-Out. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either the user or Marsh Water Damage Long Beach may elect to bring an individual claim in a small claims court of competent jurisdiction, provided the claim qualifies and remains in small claims court and is not removed or appealed to a court of general jurisdiction. Either side may also seek emergency injunctive or other equitable relief from a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent the actual or threatened misuse of the site, its content, or any intellectual property rights, pending final resolution by an arbitrator.
30-Day Opt-Out Right. A user who does not wish to be bound by the arbitration agreement in this Section 2 may opt out by sending written notice to Marsh Water Damage Long Beach through https://marshwaterdamagelongbeach.com/contact-us/ within thirty (30) days of first accepting these Terms. The notice must state clearly that the user is opting out of the arbitration agreement. Opting out has no effect on any other provision of these Terms, and the user’s continued ability to use marshwaterdamagelongbeach.com is not conditioned on accepting arbitration.
3. Governing Law and Venue
These Terms and any dispute arising out of or relating to them, to marshwaterdamagelongbeach.com, or to any referral made through the site are governed by the laws of the State of CA, without giving effect to any conflict-of-law principles that would require or permit application of the law of another jurisdiction.
Subject to the arbitration agreement in Section 2 above, any court proceeding that is permitted under these Terms - including proceedings to enforce an arbitration award, to seek injunctive relief as contemplated in Section 2, or to bring an individual small claims action - must be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in CA. Both the user and Marsh Water Damage Long Beach consent to the personal jurisdiction of those courts and waive any objection based on improper venue or inconvenient forum.
4. Eligibility and Authority
Use of marshwaterdamagelongbeach.com and submission of a service request are permitted only to individuals who are at least eighteen (18) years of age and who have full legal capacity to enter into a binding contract under applicable law. By using the site, a visitor represents and warrants that both conditions are met.
In addition, anyone requesting home-service work through marshwaterdamagelongbeach.com represents that they are the owner of the property where work is requested or that they have actual, express authority from the property owner to authorize the requested work, to grant access to the property, and to enter into a service agreement with the independent business that responds. Submitting a request on behalf of a property without that authority is a breach of these Terms.
5. No Warranty on Work; Coordination Remedy Only
Because Marsh Water Damage Long Beach is a marketing and referral company and performs no home-service work of any kind, it makes no warranty, express or implied, regarding workmanship, labor, materials, parts, or the outcome of any job. No warranty on the work itself originates with Marsh Water Damage Long Beach.
Any warranty on the labor performed comes solely from the independent business that carried out the work, under whatever warranty terms that business offers, and any warranty on parts or materials comes from the applicable manufacturer under the manufacturer’s own terms and conditions. Customers should ask the performing business for its warranty terms in writing before authorizing work to begin.
If a customer is not satisfied with the work performed, Marsh Water Damage Long Beach will, as a courtesy, act as a liaison and contact the business that performed the work to ask that it return to the property and address the concern. This coordination effort is a courtesy only - it is not a guarantee that the business will return, that the issue will be corrected, or that any particular outcome will result. Marsh Water Damage Long Beach will not itself perform, redo, repair, or otherwise correct any work, under any circumstances. This courtesy coordination does not create any financial obligation on the part of Marsh Water Damage Long Beach, and these Terms do not entitle any customer to a refund of amounts paid to the performing business.
6. Limitation of Marsh Water Damage Long Beach’s Own Liability
marshwaterdamagelongbeach.com and the referral service are provided as is and as available. Marsh Water Damage Long Beach makes no representation or warranty that a qualified business will be available in a user’s area, that any business contacted will respond to a request, that a business will honor a particular price or schedule, or that use of the site will produce any specific result. All such warranties, whether express, implied, statutory, or otherwise - including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement - are disclaimed to the fullest extent permitted by law.
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Marsh Water Damage Long Beach will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, including but not limited to lost profits, lost data, loss of goodwill, business interruption, or property damage, arising out of or related to the use of or inability to use marshwaterdamagelongbeach.com or the referral service, even if Marsh Water Damage Long Beach has been advised of the possibility of such damages.
In all events, Marsh Water Damage Long Beach’s total cumulative liability to any user for any and all claims arising out of or related to marshwaterdamagelongbeach.com or the referral service is capped at one hundred dollars (USD $100.00) or the total amount actually paid by the user directly to Marsh Water Damage Long Beach in connection with the specific transaction giving rise to the claim, whichever is greater - recognizing that in the ordinary course Marsh Water Damage Long Beach collects no payment from users, making that amount zero for most claims.
This limitation applies to Marsh Water Damage Long Beach’s own conduct and its own potential liability only. Responsibility for the work actually performed - including any property damage, personal injury, defective workmanship, or other harm arising from a job - rests exclusively with the independent business that performed that work. Nothing in this Section limits or caps the liability of those independent businesses for their own acts or omissions.
7. How Marsh Water Damage Long Beach Operates
Marsh Water Damage Long Beach operates marshwaterdamagelongbeach.com as a home-service marketing company. Its business is to advertise home-service offerings, accept service requests submitted through the site or by phone, and pass those requests to independent local businesses that are positioned to respond to them. Marsh Water Damage Long Beach serves homeowners and property users in Long Beach, CA and surrounding areas in this referral capacity.
Every estimate, service call, repair, installation, and related task is carried out by the local service partners and independent companies that accept and fulfill those requests. Marsh Water Damage Long Beach does not perform home-service work. It does not employ the tradespeople, technicians, or field personnel who do the work. It does not direct, supervise, or control how any job is executed. The independent business that takes a request is solely responsible for scheduling the appointment, setting the price, selecting materials, and determining the scope and method of the work.
Availability of a responding business is not guaranteed. Marsh Water Damage Long Beach does not promise that any particular business will be available, will contact the user within a specific timeframe, or will be able to complete the job. Marsh Water Damage Long Beach does not stand behind the quality of work performed by any business in its referral network.
8. Indemnification
To the fullest extent permitted by law, each user agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Marsh Water Damage Long Beach, its owners, officers, directors, employees, and affiliates, as well as the independent businesses in its referral network, from and against any and all claims, demands, actions, proceedings, damages, losses, liabilities, costs, and reasonable attorneys’ fees that arise out of or relate to:
- the user’s access to or use of marshwaterdamagelongbeach.com;
- any information the user submits through the site, including any inaccuracy in that information and the user’s representation that they have authority over the phone number and property address provided;
- the user’s breach of any provision of these Terms or of any applicable federal, state, or local law or regulation;
- the user’s dealings with, or any dispute between the user and, any independent business to which the user was referred through marshwaterdamagelongbeach.com; and
- any claim by a third party arising out of the user’s conduct in connection with the site or a referred service.
The user’s obligation to indemnify and hold harmless Marsh Water Damage Long Beach and the listed parties survives the termination or expiration of the user’s use of marshwaterdamagelongbeach.com and the termination of these Terms for any reason.
9. Pricing, Estimates, and Payment
Any price, cost range, or estimate displayed on marshwaterdamagelongbeach.com or communicated during a call is an illustrative starting range only. It is not a binding quote and does not represent the final price for any particular job. The independent business that responds to a request sets the actual price after assessing the specific conditions, scope, and requirements of the job at the property.
Marsh Water Damage Long Beach does not collect, process, or hold payment for any work performed. All financial arrangements - including final pricing, deposits, payment methods, and any discount or promotional offer - are made directly between the customer and the independent business that takes the job. Marsh Water Damage Long Beach does not guarantee any price, discount, or promotion that a business may advertise or represent, and it has no authority to bind any business to a particular price.
10. Appointments, Cancellations, and Rescheduling
Scheduling, confirming, canceling, and rescheduling appointments are matters handled directly between the customer and the independent business that accepted the request. Each business sets its own policies regarding advance notice required for cancellations, rescheduling windows, and any fee that may apply to late cancellations or no-shows. Customers should ask the business about those policies at the time of booking.
Customers are asked to give the responding business reasonable advance notice if they need to cancel or reschedule. If a customer is unable to reach the business directly, Marsh Water Damage Long Beach can pass a cancellation message along as a courtesy; however, Marsh Water Damage Long Beach does not control that business’s calendar and cannot guarantee that the cancellation will be received in time to avoid a fee or that the appointment slot will be held open for rescheduling.
11. Independent Contractors; No Liability for Partner Conduct
The businesses that perform work in response to requests made through marshwaterdamagelongbeach.com are independent contractors. They are not employees, agents, representatives, joint venturers, or legal partners of Marsh Water Damage Long Beach in any sense, and Marsh Water Damage Long Beach does not control the manner, method, or means by which they perform their work.
Marsh Water Damage Long Beach is not responsible or liable for any act, omission, negligence, error, or misconduct of any independent business, including but not limited to the quality, safety, timeliness, or completeness of any work performed; any property damage or personal injury caused during or after a job; the pricing charged; the accuracy of any representation made by the business; or the business’s licensing, bonding, or insurance status. Customers are strongly encouraged to verify that any business they authorize to work on their property holds the licenses and insurance required by CA law and to obtain a written contract before authorizing work to begin.
The service agreement for any job is formed directly between the customer and the independent business that performs it. Marsh Water Damage Long Beach is not a party to that agreement and assumes no obligations under it. A referral made through marshwaterdamagelongbeach.com is not an endorsement, certification, or guarantee of the business or its work. Any dispute regarding workmanship, pricing, damages, or any other aspect of the work is a matter between the customer and the business that performed it.
